4 days in Denver Itinerary

Aptly nicknamed the "Mile-High City," Denver sits at an altitude of 1,600 m (5,280 ft) above sea level, located right where the Great Plains give way to the Rocky Mountains.

You've now added Forney Museum of Transportation to your itinerary. Start off your visit on the 1st (Fri): take in the awesome beauty at North Table Mountain Park and then sample the fine beverages at Stem Ciders. On the next day, admire the masterpieces at Foothills Art Center, then see the interesting displays at Forney Museum of Transportation, and then don't miss a visit to Historic Olde Town Arvada.
